Exergy Analysis of a Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell-Turbo Expander-Steam Turbine Hybrid Cycle
Exergy analysis of an integrated molten carbonate fuel cell-turbo expander-steam turbine hybrid cycle has been presented in this study. The proposed cycle has been used as a sustainable energy approach to provide a micro hybrid power plant with high exergy efficiency. To generate electricity by the mentioned system, an externally reformed molten carbonate fuel cell located upstream of the combi...
متن کاملTechno-Economic Assessment of Different Inlet Air Cooling Systems in Warm Dry & Wet Climate Stations
Performance of a gas turbine mainly depends on the inlet air temperature. The power output of a gas turbine depends on the flow of mass through it. This is precisely the reason why on hot days, when air is less dense, power output falls. The objective here is to assess the advanced systems applied in reducing the gas turbine intake air temperature and examine the merits from integration of the ...
متن کاملImprovement of Overall Efficiency in the Gas Transmission Networks: Employing Energy Recovery Systems
This study mainly focuses on enhancing the overall efficiency of gas transmission networks. The authors developed a model with detailed characteristics of compressor and pressure reduction stations. Following this, they suggested three different systems with gas turbine including: organic rankine cycle (ORC), air bottoming cycle (ABC), and ABC along with steam injection (SI-ABC). In addition, u...
متن کاملCreep Life Uncertainty Assessment of a Gas Turbine Airfoil
Hot gas path turbine components are exposed to very severe and complex boundary conditions and many other sources of variation during their design, production, and operation. Consequently, the useful life of these components can exhibit considerable scatter. A complex, multi-physics environment has been created to automate the bulk creep life assessment of a gas turbine airfoil for a land-based...
متن کاملPerformance Improvement of a Regenerative Gas Turbine Cycle Through Integrated Inlet Air Evaporative Cooling and Steam Injection
Like many developed countries, energy efficiency and environment impact are the most important process in the development of power generation policy in India. A high ambient temperature reduces the air density and makes inlet air cooling (IAC) and steam injection gas turbine (STIG) attractive power augmentation method for existing regenerative gas turbine. With a high back work ratio and a high...
